The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love by

The Nile on eBay   The Catholic Teacher by James D. Kirylo

James D. Kirylo gives a personal and reflective account of what it means to be a Catholic teacher, drawing on the rich history of the Church and its inclusive nature through ecumenical, interfaith, and interreligious dialogue, along with the Church's social teachings and its link to liberation theology and a critical pedagogy in the light of faith. Recognizing teaching as a sacred vocation, Kirylo covers how faith should inform the practical matters of teaching and how these intersect with broader debates outside the classroom, including the COVID-19 pandemic, gun control, the sanctity of life, and climate change. The Catholic Teacher: Teaching for Social Justice with Faith, Hope, and Love is a book that underscores the dialectical interweaving of faith and action in the effort to foster a more just, loving, and right world.

Throughout the reading of this text, I felt very connected to God as it relates to the Latin American struggle we daily see in our classrooms. * Carolina Fuentes G., Professor of Communication in the English Language, Austral University of Chile, Chile *James D. Kirylo illustrates and fosters his conviction that a Catholic teacher is one who engages and draws others from a well-informed, radical lived faith.
